No stop lights in the county seat town, six in the county. No roundabouts either.

One flashing red light at the intersection of a US and a State highway.

I rarely have to stop for more than one or two vehicles in line.

I live on the county line, and the county that I reside in has a town of about 35,000. It has a number of stoplights. The other county has only one stoplight in the entire county.

When I started driving we had eight in the county.
All in towns.
Now we have around 22. Spread out.
I have to go through 3 to get to work.
It sucks.


This place is getting way too crowded.

No stop lights in a two county area. Elk County, KS., has a population of less than 5 per sq. mile. We have 10 people living in a 50 sq mile radius of our home.

On the subject of stop lights - remember the days when they were timed so that when one set changed to red, the other set immediately changed to green?

I absolutely abhor those things. Fuggin Limey invention I think, probably payback for losing that little altercation back in the 1770's.
Seen a couple in a few bigger places, they're starting to look like something in London or Rome, a-whole drivers zooming around cutting everyone else off.

I went by one of the intersections the other day and where there use to be 1 stop light, now there are 8.... 2 facing each direction of the intersection, so now the parish has 6 stop lights.

But the 2 new lights do not signal traffic in our parish.

I'm not sure how many miles of gravel were in Buena Vista County when I was there, but I remember that they actually plowed all of them at that time.
